Even more Argus quest cutscenes were added to the Patch 7.3 PTR yesterday. We've previewed two more, along with a lore analysis, in this post. Check out the other three in-game cutscenes here.\r\rAs this is a Patch 7.3 PTR story post, there are spoilers within.\r\r\r\rThis cutscene takes place at 46:10 in our Argus Questing Part 1 Video, during the Le seigneur de la flèche quest which unlocks . The cutscenes from yesterday cover why Aggramar is hostile to humans after originally helping protect Azeroth.\r\rIn this cutscene, you can appreciate the colossal size of the titans next to your own character:\r \r\rIn this video, you have a good look at , the sword of Aggramar which was shattered when he fought Sargeras. \rAggramar soon found himself outmatched. Like all titans, he was uniquely susceptible to fel magic. Sargeras's ferocious assaults shattered Aggramar's defenses and sent him reeling in agony. In a final desperate counterattack, Aggramar summoned all the power at his command and struck at Sargeras.\r\rTheir two blades met, igniting a furious explosion of fel and arcane power. When the torrent of warring energies finally subsided, Sargeras and Aggramar saw that both of their weapons had been shattered.\r\r\r\r\rThis cutscene takes place at 7:10 in our Argus Questing Part 2 Video, during Mac’Aree, joyau d’Argus. Music will likely be added to this cutscene in the future.\r\rChieftain Hatuun: Talgath has turned against us!\t\rProphet Velen: No... not you too, old friend...\t\rChieftain Hatuun: It cannot end like this. Take the others and go, Prophet. We will buy you time.\t\rProphet Velen: Hatuun, no! You do not have to do this!\t\rChieftain Hatuun: Please... keep my family safe.\t\rProphet Velen: K'ure! Help us!\t\rKil'Jaeden: I will hunt you across the stars, traitor! Even if it takes a thousand years!\t\r\rOf particular interest in this cutscene, we get to see a Young Prophet Velen as well as Archimonde and Kil'jaeden wearing light-themed armor at the start of their corruption.\r\r\r\r\r\rSome other related dialogue to the escape:\rYoung Kil'jaeden My people, I have called you here to share a revelation.\rFor so long, we eredar have been alone in the universe.\rWe need not endure this solitude any longer.\rHe has shown us the path to a new future.\rIn partnership with our new ally, the light of the eredar will shine bright across the cosmos!\rI ask you, now, to raise your voices in praise. Praise Sargeras!\rThe beacon of our civilization shining bright... upon what we feared was an empty void.\rThe Triumvirate has received a visitor from another world!\rHe offers us power unlike any we have known before.\rProphet Velen: My people will never know how I mourned for them... the depths of my regret.\rProphet Velen: As Argus grew smaller and smaller in the distance, I begged the naaru to go back.\rProphet Velen: "That is not your path," they told me. Is this what they intended?\r\rHere is the description of the betrayal in World of Warcraft Chronicle Volume 1:\rSargeras vowed to share with the eredar not only the most obscure secrets of existence, but also the final answer to what he believed was the fundamental flaw in creation. In return, the denizens of ARgus would devote themselves to Sargeras's grand work...and help him remedy that flaw.\r\rThe offer awed both Archimonde and Kil'jaeden, who were honored to be part of this grand undertaking. Velen, however, was not convinced. He sensed something strange about the seemingly beautiful and all-knowing creature who had appeared to them.\r\rVelen meditated using an ancient artifact gifted to his race by the holy naaru long before his time--the ata'mal crystal. Through the enchatned relic, he received a horrific vision of the eredar's future if they sided with Sargeras. They would become horribly disfigured, transformed into demonic beings of depthless evil.\r\rVelen warned his brothers of what he had seen, but they dismissed his insights and made it clear they intended to accept Sargeras's offer. Fearing that Archimonde and Kil'jaeden would kill him if he continued to dissent, Velen feigned acceptance. Though he and Kil'jaeden were particularly close friends, Velen didn't believe he could trust their bond to prevail over Sargeras's enticing promises.\r\rVelen despaired at the fate of his people. In this moment of desperation, the same beings who had granted him his vision of the eredar's downfall reached out to him. One of the naaru, K'ure, contacted the eredar leader and offered to shepherd him and his closest allies to safety. Filled with renewed hope, Velen sought out other eredar whom he believed he could trust.\r\rAs Sargeras arrived on Argus to corrupt the unsuspecting eredar, Velen and his followers made their daring escape. They gathered aboard a massive naaru dimensional fortress known as the Genedar and fled their homeworld forever. From that day forever, Velen and his followers would be known as the draenei, or "exiled ones."\rKil'jaeden made good on that promise and chased the draenei for millennia. While the Draenei found refuge on Draenor, Talgath eventually found the Draenei and sent Kil'jaeden to corrupt the Orcs so they would murder the Draenei. In fleeing again, the Draenei crashed their spaceship onto Azuremyst Isle.\r\rVelen has played a larger role in Legion, facing Kil'jaeden directly in the Tomb of Sargeras:\r\r

Man, all this Eredar stuff really makes me hope we get red skin in the future. Is this what it's like, being a person who wanted brown Orcs during Burning Crusade?

Thank you!

The escape refers to an event which has been referenced in the game for years - this has been a key part of the Draenei's history since Burning Crusade, and played a big role in 7.2 including the Kil'jaeden\/Velen interactions.
